how can i set fix ipaddress indebian
How can i set fix ip address in debian what file and where is it
steps
1) go to /etc/sysconfig/network-scr
2) cp ifcfg-eth0 ifcfg-etho.bak ( just backup the file in case if you mess up anything)
3) vi ifcfg-eth0
change the BOOTPROTO= static
--------------------------
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=static
HWADDR=04:60:9F:79:2E:6C
IPADDR=xxx.xxx.xx.xx An example of how the file looks like
NETMASK=255.255.252.0
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet
--------------------------
Also give the ipaddr in case if you want to change it
